Toledo weather Friday August 12 2016 Toledo Weather Back Lucas and Wood Counties click to collapse contents link fxus61 kcle 121304 afdcle area forecast discussion national weather service cleveland oh 904 am edt fri aug 12 2016 synopsis... a slow moving frontal system in michigan will makes its way across the area through the weekend then linger across the ohio valley into early next week before lifting back over the area. && near term /until 6 pm this evening/... hot and humid airmass with approaching cold front should lead to another day of sct to numerous shra/tsra developing...especially in the nw and across the north. precipitable water values are now over 2 inches so anything that develops will have equal potential to produce localized flood problems. an isolated downburst is possible too. anytime we break out sun for a little while we have been hitting/exceeding 90. but as yesterday was testament...cloud cover placement will be key...yng yesterday was 86 while akr was 97 and cak 95. with these warmer temperatures and the lower/mid 70s dewpoints locations will be flirting with heat advisory criteria. && short term /6 pm this evening through monday night/... starting to consider a flash flood watch for saturday...but will hold off to be able to better place it and figure out how long it may need to run for. any storm between now and sunday has the potential for torrential downpours. far north central oh, northeast oh and northwest pa have had the most recent rainfall and therefore the lower flash flood guidance. will have to focus on these areas...but also others as rainfall rates will be high enough to still cause issues even where the rainfall has been more sporadic up to this point. the main theme though is this front will be slow to cross the area and the rich moisture is not going anywhere anytime soon. the arrival of the front for saturday through sunday will support more widespread convection. several rounds at any one place possible. will continue with the categorical precip chances. with increasing shear there will be a little more organization to the storms which means a somewhat increased risk for marginally severe storms. cold front will hang up across the area into sunday. southeast counties have the best chances at having showers/thunderstorms linger. there still remains uncertainty though as guidance wavers on how much of the area will see reduced chances by sunday. the front sees a little better push south of the area by monday and will gradually taper those precip chances. plentiful cloud cover will keep highs in check in the mid/upper 80s this weekend...but the mugginess stays. && long term /tuesday through thursday/... additional ripples of low pressure will move along the stalled boundary through the long term. still uncertainty on where the boundary will be located with it likely wobbling with each low pressure that rides along it and any convective outflow. the region will continue to see chances of thunderstorms through the long term. potential will exist for locally heavy rainfall. temperatures through the long term will be very close to seasonal averages. && aviation /12z friday through tuesday/... winds have remained up enough to limit the fog formation this morning. however some mvfr, maybe ifr, cloud cover has developed over inland nw pa. this should dissipate with additional mixing through the morning. high level cloud cover should spread eastward with an outflow from convection moving into illinois this morning reaches nw oh. these thunderstorms should move west to east across the area into the evening. lake breeze will not be as good a trigger today but there could be some storms extreme ne oh and nw pa. winds will be a bit stronger from the south and southwest at around 10 knots. strongest winds will be closer to lake erie with gusts up to 20 knots possible. outlook...non-vfr possible in thunderstorms through early next week. areas of non-vfr fog possible each morning. && marine... southwesterly winds will increase to 10 to 15 knots today as a cold front moves into the central great lakes. this front will move closer on saturday with winds increasing a bit more. winds around 15 knots combined with the longer fetch will likely build waves to at least 2 to 4 feet from willowick to ripley. locations from geneva-on- the-lake to ripley have a chance to reach small craft conditions by saturday afternoon. the frontal boundary is expected to stall over the lake and linger into next week. northwest winds arrive saturday night in the wake of the cold front that will stall south of the lake. since the area of low pressure moves away from the lake winds and waves will decrease. winds will then vary on the lake as each ripple of low pressure moves along the stalled frontal boundary for monday into tuesday. still uncertain how far south this stalled boundary will be located. && cle watches/warnings/advisories... oh...none. pa...none. marine...none. &&
